I am Canadian My Identity and My Connections to Nation Almost all of my expressions of my identity are related to my nation I share a common culture and language with a group of people I share a common religion with a group of people I share common interests and experiences unique from other group or territories with a group of nation. I share a common love of where I live with a group of people My nation has developed my love for riding and for rodeo This is a common interest and experience that is unique to my province. While other provinces in Canada have some rodeos, there is only a fraction of the amount that Alberta has. One of my favorite things to do is to go for a trail ride, down the trails, to a magnificent vantage point of our beloved Rocky Mountains. Travelling from rodeo to rodeo has developed my love for our expansive, province with ever-changing scenery, just like it has for many other rodeo contestants. My nation has given me options for school I am free to go to school and to attend a Christian school. Until grade 6, I attended a public school which helped me learn diverse ways of thinking as well as making me exceedingly grateful to be free to attend a Christian school. At my school, I have been taught how to live in a diverse culture but how to hold on to my Christian identity. I have also learned more about my nation and have developed a deeper understanding and love for it. My Family and friends My family and friends share common interests, experiences, beliefs, and/or a common love for our beautiful country. My parents encourage me to pursue the things I believe in and help me learn about our nation. My friends share a common interest with me, such as rodeo, riding, and youth group, and school. We also share a common religion. My friends also have helped me explore and learn about our nation. my faith is a connection to nation I share a common religion with a group of people. Our esteemed country has given me and other people the freedom to express my faith freely. I am able to attend church and youth group without being persecuted. Our national anthem even mentions God keeping our land glorious and free. Canadas laws were based on a Christian standard and still show evidence of it. my Love for where I live I share a common love for where I live with a group of people. Canada has an ever-changing array of seasons. We can go through up to four seasons in a day. I love the diverse group of people who live here.

Without my connection to nation, I would not be who I am today.
